  The photos must be less than 500k which usually means compressing them.
  Tell us how you have taken your photos (camera / phone, what phone?) and someone more technical than myself (ha) will help.

  Oreo, you sound like me when the hubs and I were waiting for our boys. We said we were nesting heehee. We put deposits on them when they were 3 weeks old and started getting ready ASAP. Doing even more research, getting the x-pen, food, litter boxes, toys. The anticipation drove me nuts. The day we picked them up and brought them home I thought I was going to explode with joy.
  
  To be honest, after a long day of work and grad school, I come home and still explode when I see them.

  Argggh sorry guys my internet has been down so I couldn’t reply, 1 more sleep I pick him up tomorrow morning soooooo excited!
  So I have one more question what bedding if you use any at all do you put on the bottom of the cage? I have his litter box with wood shavings and I was thinking either blankets or shredded paper for his cage it’s a hard bottom indoor cage not wire!
  And I’m taking photos on my iPhone 6s Plus if that helps ?
  Thanks everyone for sharing your excitement with me!

  Fleece is good for bunnies and will make the bottom of the cage more comfortable.
  
  As for the litter though, typically wood shavings are not safe for bunnies! They can contain phenols that are harmful. Wood based PELLET litters are safe because the drying process removes the phenols.
  
  sorry to rain on your parade! But I figure you want to have the bunnies in something safe

  So much anticipation yay!
  
  A lot of BB members will agree that no one is 100% prepared for rabbit ownership. So many nuances, mixed signals, and individual-rabbit-specific things to pick up on. Stay engaged and feel free to ask any questions!

  Make sure they are old fleece blankets, because he will probably chew it and pee on it. Wood pellets are also so much cheaper, and absorb so much more pee. I agree with Wick, always ask questions.
